    R1T13: Not having the time (nor the flexibility) to kick himself for his attempts at stealth, The Flycatcher runs into the room and calls out enemy positions to his squad. "Four guys all lined up behind each other directly outbound from my position!"

    R1T12: Tia continues down to make her way as far as she can, but finding her way blocked by a bastard and a wall of darkness, and moving into the room alone (despite these guys only having crossbows out right now) might put her in a very sticky situation). She is in front of Flycatcher now. "Seconded, I am standing in front of one now. Crossbows like before, and dark magic."

    She had the movement, so I put her in total defense like Flycatcher.

    R1T4: Mindful of the twang of crossbows and the curses of injured allies, Dusha creeps carefully down the stairs after the others. With the pile-up at the bottom, though, she's not able to get far enough down to actually cast her spells - only past Kavina and Aldo, stepping past a doorway. Instead, she's left tapping her foot impatiently while screened by Tia and Flycatcher, and seeing the wall of darkness acting as a boundary to the room beyond.

    End Round One, Begin Round 2 ...

    R2T21:
    Tia and Flycatcher see the Bastard farthest back cast a spell (and others might hear it echoing off the walls). Magic washes over Tia's mind, threatening to usurp it...

    The charm is powerful, cast by a person that knows what they're doing in that field, but Tia's mind lives half in darkness, partially occluded from the reality the tiefling assumed she was in, and shrugs off the spell easily enough.

    R2T20: Aldo, what do you do? You heard spellcasting going on, but didn't see any effect, and have no line to the enemy.

    R2T20: Without a clear line to the front or a way to see the enemy, Aldo waits until there is an opening to advance.

    R2T19: BoE5 fires from all the way in the back, skimming Tia's left shoulder for 3 before reloading.

    R2T16: Even with the wall there, Erasmus cuts past the dark curtain and despite the dim light (to him), manages to stab BoE7 in the left hand with his silver starknife for 10, stabbing low on the palm and right into the end of the brachial artery at the wrist. The horned man drops. Then Erasmus moves past Tia and into the darkened room. Erasmus calls out, "We have a mummy back here!"

    R2T14: Hearing Erasmus' doleful news of an enemy beyond, Meijen darts into the room. He attacks BoE6 with a brilliant stroke that shatters the man's jaw for 14 + 1 CON + 25% spell failure or garbled verbal message, which is enough to drop him. "One shooter remains, and one who is a 'fake mummy.'"

    R2T13: Flycatcher what do you do? You are currently in scarlet einhander stance.

    R2T10: Kavina will advance as far as she can, keeping low and searching for a target to ninja. She moves past Aldo, through the doorway, past Tia and Dusha and stands in front of a doorway from which light comes through, and yet strangely does not enter! In the dim light beyond she sees five figures, easily picking out Erasmus holding the muted sunrod (the source of the light coming through the doorway's darkness effect). The closest enemy is a horned creature fighting what looks like Meijen. She reaches throws a shuriken out that hits BoE6 in the chest for 2.

    R2T9: BoE6 drops his crossbow, takes out his light mace, and attacks Meijen, the surprisingly quick scoundrel striking the elf's chain shirt, but little more than that.

    R2T4: Not able to get past the various fighters, Dusha instead steps up to the door next to Aldo, hoping to see through it and maybe make herself useful. She is able to pick out Flycatcher easily (because of size), Erasmus (holding the much-dimmed sunrod), and Meijen (with his elven curved sword). Then, there are two other figures in the dim light, and the farthest one back she barely sees a silhouette for.

    End Round 2, Begin Round 3 ...

    R3T21:
    The faux mummy tries to defensively cast a spell, but it fizzles.

    R3T16: Erasmus calls out, "Hey, this fake mummy? It's an amber tiefling, a construct, but a smart one. Don't use anything that interrupts bodily processes or attacks a mind against it, and expect it to be tough. Don't know how, but it is as devious as the tiefling it was based on or otherwise made to be."

    Erasmus goes low to jam his starknife into the left foot of BoE6, pushing into the shin, and then wrapping back around to the calf and tearing upwards for 12, lifting him clear off the ground, and dropping him on his back, unmoving... the last of the three tiefling crossbowmen, but not including the faux mummy amber tiefling. Erasmus steps north.

    R3T14: Meijen moves up, but from the side so as to leave a clear line-of-fire for an allied shooter or for someone to close. He attacks the amber tiefling but misses.

    R3T20: Aldo, what do you do?

    R3T20: Aldo sneaks past his peers and into the room as stealthfully as he can. Minimizing himself as a target was key in getting the drop on someone, after all. He passes by Dusha and Kavina, with the light emanating out of darkness, noting the strangeness before heading through the doorway into the dim lighting, sidestepping Flycatcher. 15' away, he sees the outline of this "amber tiefling" fighting Erasmus and Meijen, and plenty of bodies on the floor.

    R3T13: Flycatcher, you are standing just inside the darkened area, but it is little to you. It takes 10' to get to the amber tiefling. The line of bodies on the floor isn't enough to make "true" difficult terrain, but is enough to break a charge. What do you do?

    R3T13: The Flycatcher picks his way past the downed Bastards and stabs at the false mummy with a yell. He stabs cleanly into the left elbow of the linen-wrapped amber tiefling, losing some of the power as it cracks past the surface to do 9 mod. The strange consistency almost threatens to hold his weapon stuck, but using a piercing weapon in a small area of the body helped Flycatcher to withdraw it easily enough.

    R3T12: The room is too cramped to get much movement, and Tia lacks ranged techniques to help from the back, so she delays ...

    R3T10: Kavina, what do you do? It's a mess in there, and you barely have a bead on the faux mummy in the dim light.

    R3T4: Still not able to do more than hazily guess at who's fighting whom, Dusha forgoes the fight to the north for the moment and turns to the door next to her. She takes a moment to listen and, if she doesn't hear anything over the din of combat, opens it. But when she does so, she sees a four-footed skeletal creature that bites her in the boob for 3. She thinks see sees another of these around the corner as well.

    End Round 3, Begin Round 4 ...

    R4T21:
    The faux mummy goes again, but fumbles another spell.

    R4T16: Erasmus continues his intel report. "It seems like a base tiefling, so assume it is resistant to cold, electricity, and fire; the mummy thing is a trick, trying to get you to use fire, probably." He stabs it with his starknife for 5 mod.

    R4T14: With his accruing wounds, Meijen fights more carefully, and yet lands a telling blow for 12 mod.

    R4T13.5: Aldo, you hope you are maintaining stealth against the amber tiefling, but you are not sure. What do you do?

    R4T13.5: Aldo steps out of the shadows; he decided that it'd be better to trust in his ability to distract rather than to hide. He began to run out, but quickly doubled back, and then out again, his erratic movements should be enough to lower its guard. He briefly concentrates on one of his mindblades, and a cloud of swirling, buzzing insects like hundreds or even thousands of gnats surround Aldo and the mindblade, which when he throws it, streaks with the mindblade toward his target, but it goes high as Aldo was sure to avoid his two friends in the way, and the combat alone made aim confusing. As soon as the mindblade impacts and dissipates on the lintel above the faux mummy, the strange cloud of gnats likewise slam into the lintel and dissipate.

    R4T13: The Flycatcher stabs out again, trying to skewer the amber tiefling. He has to really force his power behind the blade to get through the amber-hardened exterior, but once past strikes into the heart of the thing. It falls down to the ground, unmoving, and Flycatcher had to really wrench his rapier away so as not to get stuck.

    R4T12: Tia, you were delaying, but there is a change in the condition of the battle. While things are happening in the room to the north (which you can't see), you did see Dusha open a door and get bitten by a bony quadruped. What do you do?

    R4T12: Tia watches Dusha, and the creature attacking her, and readies herself to lunge in, calling out to Dusha. "If you clear a space Dusha, I can come in and take care of that."

    If or when Dusha moves, Tia will lunge in and attempt to bisect it with her Scythe.

    R4T4: Shouting in alarm and pain, Dusha immediately jerks backwards away from the bone-creature and keeps going until she's almost on the other side of the room.

    R4T3.9: Pretty much at the same time, Tia moves in to take the spot Dusha was just in. The strange, bony quadruped bites Tia in her stomach for 5 and wrenches back and forth, enough to knock Tia onto the ground (prone).

    End Round 4, Begin Round 5 ...

    R5T16:
    Hearing the sounds of combat to the south, Erasmus takes off, moving out of the darkened area to stand by the prone Tia. "Skeletal wolf in a room down here!" he calls out. "Blunt attacks best." Of course, he says that, but throws his pokey starknife at the skeleton wolf anyway, hitting it for 4 mod.

    R5T4: Peering past Erasmus and over the prone Tia, Dusha points a filthy finger at the wolf skeleton and chants a few short words in a strangely-echoing voice. All around the room, the shadows cast by Erasmus' sunrod seem to writhe for a moment and something flutters past Erasmus' ear to land like an arrow right behind the skeleton. Perhaps it is the fact that the skeletal nature of the undead wolf creates too narrow a profile, but the wold manages to be unfettered by the spell.

    R5T3.9: Tia stands up carefully, dodging the expected attack and forms her scythe once she's on her feet. She takes a stance and spins her Scythe around, aiming to land a powerful strike upon it, but her blow glances off of its ribcage.

    R5T3: The skele-wolf attacks Tia, who in turn tries to do some bizarre maneuver to stop it, yet the wolf is successful anyway in biting Tia on her intercostal muscles for 6. Tia is aware of the wrenching nature of the bite, however, and uses her scythe to keep her footing.

    End Round 5, Begin Round 6 ...

    R6T16:
    From Erasmus' mouth issues that woman's voice you are starting to get used to hearing (but can you ever really get used to it) as he touches Tia for 7 healing.

    He cast inflict light wounds on Tia, but it healed her instead of harming her.

    R6T14: Meijen shifts to the tiny hallway on the other side of the door to the west, casts a spell, and a spatter of acid goes over the heads of Dusha, Erasmus, and Tia, but also the skeleton wolf as well.

    R6T10: Moving forward to stand next to Erasmus so she can see Tia, Kavina desperately looks for a way to aid her friend. Without thinking, she begins to sing. The wordless aria swells to fill the space, the powerful notes filling Tia with confidence and courage. The entire time the "core" Children of Westcrown have known her, she has performed at the campsite before, but never in battle, and it is truly beautiful. To Tia, it is particularly enlivening.

    R6T4: Running out of spells and not having anything that can be cast or done from where she is, Dusha steps back through the doorway behind her to give the others more room to maneuver.

    R6T3.9: Tia finds herself invigorated, not just because the song was for her benefit, but also just from the beauty of the music, and strikes even more energetically at this foe, aiming to cleave it in two this time, and hitting it for 11 PE.

    R6T3: The wolf-skeleton attacks Tia, and despite a supernatural attempt to counter, it bites her in the left foot for 2, and she has some trouble but keeps her footing.

    End Round 6, Begin Round 7 ...

    R7T16:
    Erasmus goes to help with Tia's defense, casting shield of faith on her. He maintains his position, though, as his sunrod gives dim light into the crypt area to the north, and light into both east and west extensions.

    R7T14: Meijen casts and misses with acid splash.

    R7T13.5: Aldo attempts to run into the room to do his best to get behind the undead canine, but the thing proves faster than expected. It snaps at him and rebuffs him, and Aldo stumbles back far enough past Tia and Erasmus that he falls to the floor.

    R7T13: The Flycatcher changes his posture to one more suitable for hurling knives and tosses one at the skeletal wolf despite the akward angle required. The dagger almost sinks in, and would've .... if it had flesh. the dagger actually gets caught in the ribcage before movement finally releases several turn orders from now.

    Because of the hard corner, you and Tia cannot simply swamp places, which means that getting to her spot when she vacates it will be a move action, not a 5-foot step. So, you are only readied to switch places with Tia, not switch places AND attack.

    R7T3.9: Tia spins her scythe around again and brings it down near the skeleton, missing. She then backs up to a safe place, taking the expected attack as she does, and yet it does not attack (having used an AOO already).

    R7T3: The wolf skeleton, barely held together, moves out into the hallway and gives a numbing crit to Erasmus - leaping up to bite him in the neck - for 16. As awful as that bite was, the bite in the neck means that Erasmus is not knocked down.

    R7T2: Another wolf skeleton comes into view, stepping into the space occupied formerly by its kin.

    End Round 7, Begin Round 8 ...

    R8T16:
    His starknife in the other room where the second wolf skeleton is, and sporting an ugly wound on his neck, Erasmus withdraws to the north.

    R8T14: Meijen steps up past Aldo and attacks a dodging wolf skeleton.

    R8T13.5: Aldo got to his feet and threw a blade at the skeletal canine. Admittedly, that did leave him unarmed for the time being, but it was better to do something than to stand there as these skeletal wolves chewed up his allies. Besides, despite all odds, the mindblade had the courtesy to actually hit the target this time, and dusts the skeleton!
